Urgh. I guess that was already answered. Guess this'll teach me not to reply to a thread before waiting for ALL the messages to download over a low-bandwidth connection... (am on the road at the moment and catching up on stuff in spare cycles - sorry for the noise)<br>

</div>A very quick and dirty check:<br>
<br>
dmg: 5<br>
rpm: 12<br>
msi: 23<br>
dumb: 132<br>
wininst: 364<br>
egg: 2570<br>
<br>
That's number of packages with binary distributions in that format.<br>
It's hard to be sure about egg distributions, as many of these could<br>
be pure-python (there's no way I know, from the PyPI metadata, to<br>
check this).<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>FYI, the egg filename will contain a distutils platform identifier (e.g. 'win32', 'macosx', 'linux', etc.) after the 'py2.x' tag if the egg is platform-specific. Otherwise, it's pure Python.</div>
